How did it end up?

Batley 40 kids 12.

Far, far too many penalties conceded to stand a chance. If they ever had one given how much bigger and stronger Batley were.

Liked the way some Batley fans took the p*ss out of Brown, seeing as he will be playing for them next season!

Not only was Batley bigger and stronger but more savvy, they are a good side and will do well in there league

Thought Parkinson [9] had a good game. Some of the forwards look to have potential.

However, we lacked attacking ideas, which surprised me with McNally playing at a level he excelled at last season.

Ref was a bit of a joke IMHO - especially when he gave a 20 m restart just after half time when the ball clearly stayed in play - even the TJ looked bemused [other side to PBG].

A decent friendly contest today I thought, with a pretty good Giants following for what was your Academy side. Thanks for coming. :D
You've got some decent lads making their way through the ranks who will no doubt graduate to SL in the coming years, however I was a tad disappointed by McNally's performance. Quite a few people noted his apparent 'bad attitude' today, which is an unfortunate facet of his game he displayed towards the end of last season with Whitehaven. However, if he sorts himself out I've no doubt he'll make a contribution for you in the coming seasons as he definitely has talent.
All in all a worthwhile hit-out for both sides. Gareth Moore looks an excellent prospect for us at scrum-half, and alongside the likes of Handforth and the incoming Kyle Wood we won't be short of creative guile in 2010.

I saw the squad before I set off for the game but I trusted the coaching staff to put out a team they thought could compete with Batley. How wrong I was. We were outplayed in every department. Nobody shone for us really although our first try came from a nice touch from McNally but he still looks miles away from a SL player. The team that the Giants put out was a total lack of respect for the supporters and Batley considering it was £10 to get in which I assume the Giants had a say in. Maybe I didn't learn my lesson either as I think I said pretty much the same thing last year after this game. In future i'll only pay that kind of money to watch pretty much the first team.
